Georgia Strait Alliance’s Guide to Clean Boating is a comprehensive, practical guide for recreational boaters on minimizing environmental impacts while enjoying these cruising waters.

The Guide to Clean Boating contains useful information and resources, including a list of pump-out stations, tips on reducing pollution from boat maintenance and swabbing the decks, alternatives to toxic cleaning products, and so much more! Please feel free to download and print this publication. Or contact us to request your copy. We’d happily send bulk copies to your club, marina, or other organization.

Donations are gratefully accepted to help us continue distributing Clean Boating information.
